Munich WW2 bomb blows up near station, wounding four
Four people were hurt, one seriously, when a World War Two bomb blew up on a railway construction site in the German city of Munich.
...
As a result rail traffic in much of Munich was brought to a standstill.
Unexploded wartime bombs are frequently found in Germany and prompt big evacuations, but most are defused by experts without exploding.
Police say the bomb went off during tunnel work near the bridge. Local reports described a loud bang followed by a column of smoke. An excavator was overturned by the force of the blast.
